Great consistent climbing, lots of good rest and a few techy arete and corner moves. Great onsight by Nick on the second pitch.

Superb compression moves down low and the drive-by is classic. It all came down to dialling in the vanity crux and learning how to rest.

Surprised myself with this one as I'd found it super hard last year and had just intended to work the moves. The climb just flowed and felt great! Psyched to work the full thing now.

Did Battle Cruiser then P2 of this. Interesting techy climbing that shifts between a series of rounded parallel cracks. Fairly sustained from the ground, then eases off at about 2/3 height. Eats small cams!

Afternoon ramble in the clouds. Was runout without a #4 and only one #3, should have read thesarvo before committing to it! Otherwise well protected, on great rock and an awesome pitch of old school 3D weirdness.

Led P.1 and P.3. First go at a proper finger crack so was happy to grovel behind Nick for the 2nd pitch. Was a learning experience! Great line.
